NORFOLK, Va. — Norfolk will get a temporary casino this November as Boyd Gaming and the Pamunkey Indian Tribe prepare for a permanent $750 million resort slated to open in 2027.
The temporary venue, called The Interim Gaming Hall, will be located next to the future resort site and will feature more than 130 slot machines on a single-level gaming floor, along with a small selection of food and beverages. Guests will also be able to join Boyd Rewards, the company’s nationwide player loyalty program. The Interim’s initial hours of operation will be 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. daily.
“The Interim Gaming Hall is a perfect brand for our temporary casino — a sneak peek of the exciting gaming experience and memorable guest service we plan to offer the entire Hampton Roads community,” said Ron Bailey, vice president and general manager of the Norfolk casino. “Having said this, our focus remains on delivering on our vision of a best-in-market gaming entertainment destination. Our construction team has made great progress so far, and we remain well on track to open the doors of our casino resort in late 2027.”…
